said by r81984 :p2p started way before broadband. I used to use napster on my dial up way before broadband was popular or even close to being widespread. I had Cox@Home in late 1996...before Napster was a wet spot on the mattress. No, P2P didn't start way before broadband. -- WAR HAS NEVER SOLVED ANYTHING, except ending slavery, facism, communism, Nazism.... |
